About This Book
The Rise of Robert M. Parker, Jr., and the Reign of American Taste
This is the story of how an American lawyer raised on Coca-Cola caused a
revolution in the way wines around the globe are made, sold, and talked
about.
The world's most influential wine critic, Robert M. Parker, Jr., has
dominated the international wine community for the last quarter century,
embodying the triumph of American taste. Using Parker's story as a
springboard, author Elin McCoy offers an authoritative and unparalleled
insider's view of the eccentric personalities, bitter feuds,
controversies, and secrets of the wine world. She explains how
reputations are made and how and why critics agree and disagree, and she
tracks the startling ways wines are judged, promoted, made, and sold --
while painting a fascinating portrait of a modern-day cultural colossus
who revolutionized the way the world thinks about wine.
